Deepak Chopra The fundamental promise of every exciting medical discovery, diet, and exercise program is the same: do this, buy this, or eat this and you will look better, live longer, and feel healthier. But few books can make the promise of this one: if you adopt the following five simple habits you will live a longer and healthier life, guaranteed. - Drink coffee - Exercise regularly - Add nuts to your diet - Get plenty of vitamin D - Meditate regularly No gimmicks, no catches, on ifs, ands or buts.

As there's no profit-driven industry promoting these ideas, many people aren't aware of the incredible benefits of incorporating them into their lives.
